Do you know that….
There are two ways to conduct physical examination when giving first aid.
-PRIMARY SURVEY
PRIMARY SURVEY must be done
when the victim is unconscious. It
is a quick way to find out how to

To do the Primary Survey, you
must remember the acronym CAB
which stands for Chest
compression, Airway and
Breathing.
A. CHEST COMPRESSION – Place
the heel of your hand on the
center of the person’s chest. Place
the heel of your other hand on top
of your firsthand, lacing fingers
together. Keep arms straight and
your shoulders directly over your
hands. Push hard and fast,
compressing chest at least 2
inches
B. AIRWAY – Does the victim have
an open airway?
1. The victim’s unconsciousness
maybe due to an obstruction in
his/her airway. It may also be
caused by a narrowed airway
making breathing impossible. 2.
Find out if there is loss of
muscular control in the throat

or feel of breath on your cheek.
-SECONDARY SURVEY
SECONDARY SURVEY is used when the
victim is conscious or has revived. It
aims to detect everything about the
patient’s condition.
a. HISTORY TAKING- remember the
mnemonic SAMPLE PAIN.
S-ymptoms P-ain
A-llergy A-rea
M-edication I-ntensity
P-revious illness N-ullify (what stopped it?)
L- ast meal

b. Checking for vital signs
c. Temperature
d. Respiration
e. Skin color
